California, Land of Cars, Encourages Bike Commuters

In Northern California the local train service between San Jose and San Francisco is adding more space for cyclists on its cars. Capacity will rise to the point where some cars will have space for 40 bikes. This must be encouraging for commuters. When I used the trains in Germany, there was space for bicycles but the same area had fold-down seats if nobody needed the bike space. Now, if only all train services were as far-sights. Good on you, Caltrain! Read about it here.

Your Humble Wheelman

After I cycled from London to Munich at 18 years of age, I decided I always wanted cycling to be a part of my life. It is a pastime that lets you get fit, see the world at your own pace, enjoy exotic machinery and make new friends.
